Actual hours flown probably average 50-60 per month. YMMV... and there are always outliers of min guarantee and HUGE months.
It does slow down sometimes, but if the rumors about aircraft we are buying are even a little bit true, it won't slow down much for a while.
That being said, it is still great for it to be a decision that *you* make. You can fly guarantee if you want of pick up OT if you want. There is no junior assignment and I haven't heard any stories about backlash if you say no.
That's worth a lot to some people. At previous brand X's nobody ever answered the phone. Here at least you can pick up and see if it is something you are willing to do. I hadn't realized what a huge difference that is from previous airline's operations . Sorry, got off on a tangent there... But you get the idea.

That's $20,000 if he is on first year pay
If it's was me, a 8yr CA it would be $42,000
The next guy that says we lowered the bar can stuff it

Based on some feedback from Axis Mundi, I think that the high bar for a month in 2017 was a little north of $60K. And, there was at least one pilot (not me, boo hoo..) who came in over $500K for the year. So, okay, maybe we don't have the top tier retirement. But, I will take the $ and Cadillac insurance deal and make my own damn retirement. Just sayin...

The thought of having to commute again pretty much rules out wanting to go anywhere else. We may not be the highest compensated after the first year, but we still make enough to be very comfortable, and doing better than most people.
